Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore

Donate Now

Every year our volunteers enter K-12 classrooms across the eastern shore of Maryland and present our financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship lessons with material we provide to the schools free of charge. Your donation--your support of the idea of giving all children the chance to build their own success in life--goes directly to purchasing this material. Without donors like you, the students we teach would not have had exposure to concepts such as "want vs. need" in our first grade program, JA Our Families. They would not have been taught JA Economics for Success--a program that teaches career selection and proper personal money management. And without JA It's My Business they might not have ever entertained the possibilty of owning their own business. Because of donors like you, over 6,700 students last year received JA and are now one step closer to personal success.

Others still wait.

Don't support us. Support them.

If you would like to donate to a specific county or school, simply make a note of which one in the special instructions section of the payment screen. Thank you for supporting Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore.

“Ms. Weise and her third graders have touched me in a way that I will never forget, and reinforced my belief that our children (and our teachers) are
the most important people on the planet!”

“I cannot believe the level of understanding these young children have for what we are teaching them….I truly felt like I had made a difference in their little lives.”

“Volunteering for Junior Achievement is one of the greatest things I do each year.Teaching our youth about financial literacy is very important, especially in today's economy.It's a very good feeling to walk into the class room and feel like a 'rock star'.”

“The Junior Achievement Company Program is an excellent program for youth.It absolutely gives them the guidance needed to start and maintain a business.I highly recommend this program to anyone working with youth.”

James Holbrook, WCBOE's Project Success

“Teaching high school students the mechanics of developing and launching a business included so many "aha" moments – for them and for me.It opened their eyes to the possibility of a future filled with engaging work that makes a difference.”
